Abstract excerpt
Melioidosis is a fatal infectious disease caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei. Complications following treatment are usually due to antibiotic resistance and relapse is mainly caused by B. pseudomallei biofilm. Although the release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) is crucial to capture and eliminate bacterial pathogens, to date response of NETs to B. pseudomallei biofilm is poorly understood. Here we...
